And the case where the storage quantity of the cash of each denomination is less than an appropriate range is set as an insufficient range, and the case where it exceeds the appropriate range is set as an excess range. Furthermore, the case where the amount of stored cash of each denomination is 0 is set as an insufficient state, and the case of the maximum stored amount is set as an excessive state.

  In the vending machine 100, when the amount of cash stored in each denomination is within an appropriate range, a cash transaction is properly performed with the user. On the other hand, if the amount of cash stored in each denomination is not within the appropriate range, it will not be difficult to store cash entered from the outside or to release cash including external change. A notification is made to prompt the user for a transaction with cash. And when the storage quantity of the cash of each denomination is in an excessive state or a shortage state, the cash transaction performed between users is at least partially restricted.

[Bonus settings]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a privilege (privilege setting information) set for a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination. Below, although the case where a privilege which differs in four steps, an excess state, an excess range, a deficiency range, and a deficiency state is demonstrated, you may set a privilege which differs in three steps or less or five steps or more. In FIG. 4, the benefits at each stage are set as follows.

  In an excessive state, when only cash other than excessive denominations is input and a transaction is performed, cash of an amount corresponding to 25% of the product price is set as a privilege. In addition, in the excessive state, transactions using excess denomination cash are restricted, and thus no privilege is set when the transaction including the excess denomination is performed. Moreover, in the excessive range, when only a cash other than excessive denominations is input and a transaction is performed, cash of an amount corresponding to 15% of the product price is set as a privilege. Furthermore, when a transaction is performed with cash of excess denomination and cash other than excess denomination, cash of an amount corresponding to 10% of the commodity price is set as a privilege.

  In the shortage range, when a transaction is carried out with cash of a shortage denomination and cash other than the shortage denomination, a cash amount equivalent to 10% of the product price is set as a privilege. Further, when a transaction is performed with only the cash of the shortage denomination, the cash corresponding to 15% of the product price is set as a privilege. Further, in the shortage state, when a transaction is performed with the cash of the shortage denomination and the cash other than the shortage denomination, the amount of cash corresponding to 20% of the product price is set as a privilege. In addition, when a transaction is performed with only the cash of the shortage denomination, cash of an amount corresponding to 25% of the product price is set as a privilege.

  In addition, when it is assumed that the cash of the first denomination and the cash of the second denomination different from the first denomination are simultaneously in the excess range (excess state) or simultaneously in the shortage range (insufficient state) Double benefits may be applied for cash of the first and second denominations, and benefits may be applied only for cash of denominations that are in excess (maximum storage capacity) or shortage (0) Good. The same applies to the case where it is assumed that the cash of the first denomination becomes an excessive range (excess state) and the cash of the second denomination different from the first denomination simultaneously becomes the shortage range (insufficient state). It is.

  In addition, the amount refunded as a privilege is rounded down according to the minimum amount of cash that can be used in the vending machine 100 (in the case of this embodiment, 10 yen) from the amount corresponding to a predetermined percentage of the product price. It becomes the amount of money. The same privilege may also be set when a transaction is performed with cash of excess denominations released as change or when a transaction is performed without cash of denominations being changed as change. . Further, for example, it may be set such that a larger privilege is provided as the amount of cash of a predetermined denomination used is larger, such as the amount of cash other than excess denominations or cash of deficient denominations.

  As described above, the privilege is set to be larger as the deviation from the appropriate range due to the deviating denomination (excess denomination or deficient denomination) is increased, and in some cases, the predetermined value that suppresses the deviation from the appropriate range due to the deviating denomination. Since the amount of cash of the denomination of money is set so large that it is used more frequently in transactions, it is possible to effectively encourage the user to perform transactions with cash of a predetermined denomination.

[Operation of Vending Machine 100]
Next, the operation of the vending machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8A is a flowchart showing the operation of the vending machine 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8B is a flowchart showing a modification of the operation shown in FIG. 8A. 9A to 9D are diagrams showing transaction messages notified to the user. 9A to 9D show a case where a transaction message is notified on the display panel of the transaction notification unit 116, etc., but other notifications are made in order to perform similar notifications such as blinking and lighting of light emitting elements. Forms may be used.

  First, based on the cash management information and threshold setting information, the control unit 126 compares the cash storage quantity and the threshold for each denomination, and determines whether the cash storage quantity of each denomination is outside the proper range. (Step S10).

  In the vending machine 100, the cash management unit 106 updates the cash management information indicating the amount of cash stored in each denomination in response to the withdrawal or storage of cash from or to the cash storage unit 102, and updates the cash management information. Notify the control unit 126. When notified of the update of the cash management information, the control unit 126 compares the stored amount of cash and the threshold value for each denomination based on the updated cash management information. When the control unit 126 determines that the stored amount of cash of each denomination is not within the appropriate range based on the comparison result, the control unit 126 controls the transaction notification unit 116 as follows in the process of step S12. If it is determined that the value is within the appropriate range, the process proceeds to step S14.

  When the quantity of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination) is in an excessive state, the control unit 126 cannot input the excess denomination (denomination A in the example shown in FIG. 9A), for example, as shown in FIG. 9A. The transaction notifying unit 116 is notified of information indicating that there is information, information that prompts transactions with cash other than excess denominations, and relevant privilege information. Further, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination) is in an excessive range, the control unit 126, for example, as shown in FIG. 9B, information indicating that the amount of excess denomination is large, excess The transaction notifying unit 116 is notified of information prompting a transaction with cash including cash other than the denomination (other than the denomination A in the example shown in FIG. 9A) and the corresponding privilege information.

  On the other hand, when the quantity of cash of the deviating denomination (insufficient denomination) is in a deficient state, the control unit 126 changes the deficit denomination (denomination A in the example shown in FIG. 9C) as shown in FIG. 9C, for example. The transaction notifying unit 116 is notified of information indicating that it cannot be released, information for prompting transactions with cash including cash of insufficient denomination, and corresponding privilege information. In addition, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (insufficient denomination) is within the shortage range, the control unit 126, for example, as shown in FIG. The transaction notifying unit 116 is notified of information prompting a transaction with cash including cash of a denomination (denomination A in the example shown in FIG. 9D) and corresponding privilege information.

  Note that the control unit 126 assumes that each commodity is traded with cash of the maximum denomination (1000 yen in this embodiment) based on the cash management information and the pricing information. Thus, it may be determined whether the change cannot be configured. When it is determined that the change cannot be configured, the control unit 126 causes the transaction notification unit 116 to perform the same notification as when the amount of cash of any denomination is in a shortage state or in a shortage range. The determination as to whether change cannot be configured may be made at the same time as the determination in step S10 as to whether the amount of cash stored in each denomination is outside the proper range.

  When the cash is inserted by the user (S14), the cash storage / release unit 104 detects the type of the inserted cash and outputs it to the control unit 126 as input money information. The control unit 126 outputs product provision information indicating the types of products that can be provided to the product selection unit 114 based on the input information, product management information, price setting information, and the like. The product selection unit 114 visually displays the possibility of providing each type of product based on the product providing information. When a product that can be provided is selected by the user (S16), the product selection unit 114 outputs product selection information indicating the type of the selected product to the control unit 126. And the control part 126 judges whether the storage quantity of the cash of each denomination is outside an appropriate range (S18).

  When the cash of each denomination is within the appropriate range, the control unit 126 determines that the transaction is successful (S32). And the control part 126 outputs a storage instruction | indication to the cash storage discharge | release part 104, and the cash storage discharge | release part 104 stores the cash pooled temporarily in the cash storage part 102 for every denomination. In addition, when change occurs, the control unit 126 outputs, to the cash storage / release unit 104, the release information and the release instruction indicating the amount of cash of each denomination constituting the change, and the cash storage / release unit 104 Cash corresponding to the released money information is released from the cash storage unit 102 as change. When cash is stored / released to / from the cash storage unit 102 by the cash storage / release unit 104, the cash management unit 106 updates the cash management information. Further, the control unit 126 outputs the released product information indicating the selected product and the release instruction to the product release unit 110. When the release instruction is input, the product release unit 110 releases the product corresponding to the released product information from the product storage unit 108, and updates the product management information (S34).

  When the amount of cash of any denomination is outside the proper range, the control unit 126 determines whether or not change has occurred, and is stored in / released from the cash storage unit 102 upon completion of the transaction. The amount of cash of an arbitrary denomination (excess denomination, shortage denomination) is determined (S20).

  Then, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination) is in an excessive state or in an excessive range (S22) and the inserted cash cannot be stored (S24), the control unit 126 determines that the transaction is not successful. (S28). And the control part 126 controls the cash storage discharge | release part 104 so that the cash pooled temporarily may be returned (S30), and since the cash of excess denomination cannot be stored, a transaction is not materialized, and The transaction notifying unit 116 notifies the user that a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination is promoted.

  Further, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (insufficiency denomination) is in an insufficiency state or in an insufficiency range and cannot be released as change (S26), the control unit 126 determines that the transaction is not established (S28). Then, the control unit 126 controls the cash storage and release unit 104 so as to return the temporarily pooled cash (S30), and the transaction cannot be established because the cash of the insufficient denomination cannot be released as change. The transaction notification unit 116 notifies the user that the transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination is promoted.

  If the control unit 126 determines that the cash inserted in the process of step S24 can be stored, or determines that the change can be released in the process of step S26, the control unit 126 determines that the transaction is established in step S32, and Process. And the control part 126 judges whether the transaction by the cash of a predetermined | prescribed denomination is performed based on input information, price setting information, cash management information, and threshold value setting information (S36).

  If it is determined that the transaction is performed with cash of a predetermined denomination, the control unit 126 calculates a privilege provided by the establishment of the transaction based on the price setting information and the privilege setting information, and the cash storage and release unit 104. Outputs the release money information and the release instruction. Then, the cash storage / release unit 104 releases the cash corresponding to the release money information from the cash storage unit 102 in response to the release instruction, and the cash management unit 106 updates the cash management information (S38).

  As an example in which the amount of cash of the deviating denomination is in an excessive state, the cash storage unit 102 stores 50 1000 yen bills and 1000 100 yen coins, and the user is in an excessive state with 100 yen coins in an excessive state. Assume that a product of 200 yen is purchased. The vending machine 100 notifies the user that the 100-yen coin cannot be inserted, prompts the transaction with cash other than the 100-yen coin, and the corresponding privilege information. When the user inserts two 100-yen coins, the vending machine 100 returns the inserted cash to the user because the inserted cash cannot be stored. On the other hand, when the user inserts one 1000-yen banknote, the vending machine 100 can store the inserted cash and can release change, so it releases eight 100-yen coins together with the product. Five 10-yen coins corresponding to 25% of the product price are provided to the user as a privilege.

  As an example in which the amount of cash of the deviating denomination is in the excessive range, the cash storage unit 102 stores 999 100-yen coins and 500 10-yen coins, and the user is in the excessive range of 100-yen coins. Assume that a product of 200 yen is purchased. The vending machine 100 notifies the user that the amount of 100-yen coins is increasing, the effect of prompting transactions with cash including cash other than 100-yen coins, and the corresponding privilege information. When the user inserts two 100-yen coins, the vending machine 100 returns the inserted cash to the user because the inserted cash cannot be stored. On the other hand, when the user inserts 20 pieces of 10 yen coins (or 1 piece of 100 yen coin and 10 pieces of 10 yen coin), the vending machine 100 can store the inserted cash. Three (or two) 10 yen coins corresponding to% (or 10%) are provided to the user as a privilege.

  In other words, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination) exceeds the appropriate range, the user does not conduct transactions that do not receive excess denomination cash, or transactions that release excess denomination cash. , It is possible to suppress (or reduce) deviation from a predetermined appropriate range due to excessive denomination.

  As an example where the amount of cash of the deviating denomination is in the shortage range, the cash storage unit 102 stores 500 1000 yen bills, 50 500 yen coins, and 1 100 yen coin, and the 100 yen coins are in shortage range. Suppose that the user purchases a 600 yen product. The vending machine 100 notifies the user that the 100-yen coins are low, that the transaction with cash including 100-yen coins is encouraged, and the corresponding privilege information. And when a user inserts one 1000 yen bill, since the vending machine 100 cannot discharge | release change, it returns the inserted cash to a user. On the other hand, when the user inserts six 100 yen coins (or one 500 yen coin and one 100 yen coin), the vending machine 100 is 10 yen corresponding to 15% (or 10%) of the product price. Nine coins (or six) are provided to the user as a privilege.

  As an example in which the amount of cash of the deviating denomination is in a shortage state, the cash storage unit 102 stores 500 1000-yen bills, 50 500-yen coins, and 0 100-yen coins, and the 100-yen coins are insufficient. Suppose that the user purchases a 600 yen product. The vending machine 100 notifies the user that the 100 yen coin cannot be used as change, that the transaction including cash including the 100 yen coin is promoted, and corresponding privilege information. And when a user inserts one 1000 yen bill, since the vending machine 100 cannot discharge | release change, it returns the inserted cash to a user. On the other hand, when the user inserts six 100 yen coins (or one 500 yen coin and one 100 yen coin), the vending machine 100 is 10 yen corresponding to 25% (or 20%) of the product price. 15 coins (or 12 coins) are provided to the user as a privilege.

  In other words, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (insufficient denomination) falls below the appropriate range, the user performs a transaction in which the cash of the insufficient denomination is inserted or a transaction in which the cash of the depleting denomination is not released. , It is possible to suppress (or reduce) the deviation from the predetermined appropriate range due to the insufficient denomination.

  The operation of the vending machine 100 has been described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 8A. However, the vending machine 100 may operate according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 8B. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8B, the vending machine 100 starts processing from the determination of cash input (S60), and confirms the amount of cash stored in each denomination after the transaction is completed, not before the transaction is started ( S86), to notify that a transaction with a predetermined cash is urged (S88). The vending machine 100 performs the same process as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 8A except that the process procedure is changed.

  As described above, according to the vending machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the amount of cash of deviating denominations (excess denominations and deficient denominations) deviates from a predetermined appropriate range, the deviating money A notification that prompts the user to perform a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination that suppresses deviation from a predetermined appropriate range due to the seed is performed. And if the transaction of the predetermined denomination cash is performed, the deviation from the predetermined appropriate range due to the deviating denomination is suppressed (or reduced). Thereby, even when the quantity of the cash of the deviating denomination deviates from the predetermined appropriate range, it is possible to suppress the cash from being excessively excessive or insufficient and as a result, the transaction act cannot be continued. Thereby, the convenience of both a user and an administrator can be improved, such as the reduction of the loss opportunity of a transaction act and the reduction of the maintenance frequency accompanying the excess / insufficiency of cash. Further, by providing a privilege (discount of product price) for transactions with cash of a predetermined denomination, it is possible to further encourage the user to perform transactions with cash of a predetermined denomination.

The control unit 222 controls the privilege providing unit 214 to provide a privilege based on the deposit information or the withdrawal information, the cash management information, and the privilege setting information.

[Operation of ATM200]
Next, the operation of the ATM 200 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11A is a flowchart showing the operation of the ATM 200. FIG. 11B is a flowchart showing a modification of the operation shown in FIG. 11A.

  First, the control unit 222 compares the cash storage amount and the threshold value for each denomination based on the cash management information updated according to the withdrawal and storage of cash or storage / release, and the threshold setting information, and based on the comparison result. It is then determined whether the amount of cash stored in each denomination is outside the proper range (step S110).

  When the control unit 222 determines that the amount of cash stored in each denomination is outside the proper range, the control unit 222, as in the case of the first embodiment described with reference to FIGS. The transaction notifying unit 212 is notified of the type of cash transaction and the corresponding privilege information (S112). Here, the transaction notification unit 212 notifies the use points provided to the user as privilege information in accordance with a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination, instead of the discount rate for the product price.

  When the process selection operation is performed by the user, the transaction operation unit 210 outputs the operation information to the control unit 222, and the control unit 222 performs the transaction process according to the operation information so that the cash storage / release unit 204, the user The information acquisition unit 208, transaction operation unit 210, transaction notification unit 212, and the like are controlled (S114).

  When the deposit processing is selected by the user and the deposit / savings card (or deposit / savings account passbook) is inserted into the card insertion slot (or passbook insertion slot), the control unit 222 acquires user information from the card by the user information acquisition unit 208. . The control unit 222 performs a notification for prompting the user to insert cash into a cash slot (not shown) by the transaction notifying unit 212, and when the cash insertion and the input confirmation operation are performed, the amount of the inserted cash is stored and released in the cash The unit 204 obtains input money information by counting each denomination. The control unit 222 uses the transaction notification unit 212 to notify the user of input information and input operation of deposit amount (deposit information) and processing start operation.

  When the payout process is selected by the user and the deposit / savings card is inserted into the card insertion slot, the control unit 222 acquires user information from the card by the user information acquisition unit 208. The control unit 222 performs a notification for prompting the user to input authentication information by the transaction notification unit 212. When the authentication information is input, the control unit 222 sends a transmission request for the acquired user information, authentication information, and account information (balance information). The data communication unit 218 transmits the data to the host device 250. The host device 250 transmits the user account information to the ATM 200 when the identity confirmation is obtained by the user information and the authentication information. When the account information is acquired, the control unit 222 uses the transaction notification unit 212 to notify the user of the account information and to input a payout amount (payout information). Then, when a payout amount equal to or less than the account balance is input, the control unit 222 causes the transaction notification unit 212 to notify the user of a cash denomination selection operation and a process start operation to be paid out. Here, the payout information is information including the quantity of each denomination acquired by the denomination selection operation.

  When the processing start operation is performed, the control unit 222 determines whether the amount of cash stored in each denomination is outside the proper range (S116). When the cash of each denomination is within the appropriate range, the control unit 222 determines that the transaction is completed by moving to step S130.

  Then, in the case of deposit processing, the control unit 222 outputs a storage instruction to the cash storage / release unit 204, and the cash storage / release unit 204 inserts the cash that is inserted from the cash slot and temporarily pooled into each denomination. Stored in the cash storage unit 202. In addition, when change occurs, the control unit 222 outputs the release money information and the release instruction indicating the quantity of cash of each denomination constituting the change to the cash storage / release unit 204, Cash corresponding to the released money information is released from the cash storage unit 202 as change. On the other hand, in the case of the payout process, the control unit 222 outputs the release information indicating the quantity of cash of each denomination to be paid out and the release instruction to the cash storage / release unit 204, and the cash storage / release unit 204 Cash corresponding to the information is discharged from the cash storage unit 202 as a withdrawal.

To do.

  When deposit processing is performed in a state where the amount of cash of any denomination is outside the proper range, the control unit 222 determines whether or not change has occurred based on the deposit information and deposit information, and establishes the transaction. To determine the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination, deficit denomination) stored in / released from the cash storage unit 202 (S118). In addition, when the payout process is performed in a state where the amount of cash of any denomination is outside the proper range, the control unit 222 deviates from the cash storage unit 202 upon completion of the transaction based on the payout information. Determining the amount of cash of the seed (shortage denomination).

  Then, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (excess denomination) is in an excessive state or in an excessive range (S120) and the inserted cash cannot be stored (S122), the control unit 222 determines that the transaction is not successful. (S126). And the control part 222 controls the cash storage discharge | release part 204 so that the cash pooled temporarily may be returned, since the cash of excess denomination cannot be stored, a transaction is not materialized, and predetermined money The transaction notification unit 212 notifies the user that the transaction with the seed cash is promoted (S128).

  Further, when the amount of cash of the deviating denomination (insufficient denomination) is in an insufficiency state or in an insufficiency range and cannot be released as change or withdrawal (S124), the control unit 222 determines that the transaction is not successful (S126). ). Then, the control unit 222 controls the cash storing / releasing unit 204 to return the pooled cash temporarily, and the fact that the transaction cannot be established because the cash of the insufficient denomination cannot be released, and the predetermined money The transaction notification unit 212 notifies the user that the transaction with the seed cash is promoted (S128).

  When the control unit 222 determines that the cash inserted in the process of step S122 can be stored, or determines that the change can be released in the process of step S124, the control unit 222 determines that the transaction is completed in step S130, and in step S132 Process. Then, the control unit 222 performs a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination based on the deposit information, cash management information, and threshold setting information, or based on the withdrawal information, cash management information, and threshold setting information. Is determined (S134).

  If it is determined that the transaction is performed with cash of a predetermined denomination, the control unit 222 causes the privilege providing unit 214 to provide the user with the corresponding privilege based on the price setting information and the privilege setting information. Then, the privilege providing unit 214 transmits the user information, the corresponding usage points, and the point registration request to the host device 250 by the data communication unit 218. Upon receiving the point registration request, the host device 250 updates the user's point information based on the user information (S136).

  The operation of the ATM 200 has been described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11A. However, the ATM 200 may operate according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11B. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 11B, the ATM 200 starts processing from the determination of cash input (S160), confirms the amount of cash stored in each denomination after the transaction is established, not before the transaction starts (S184), A notice of prompting a transaction with a predetermined cash is sent (S186). The ATM 200 performs processing in the same manner as in the flowchart shown in FIG. 11A except that the processing procedure is changed.

  As explained above, according to the automatic teller machine 200 according to the present embodiment, even when the quantity of deviating denomination (excess denomination, deficit denomination) cash deviates from a predetermined appropriate range, It is possible to suppress the continuation of the transaction act by notifying the user to perform a transaction with cash of a predetermined denomination. As a result, convenience for both the user and the administrator can be improved, such as a reduction in the chances of losing business activities and a reduction in maintenance frequency associated with excess / insufficiency of cash. In addition, by providing a privilege (use point) for transactions with cash of a predetermined denomination, it is possible to further encourage the user to perform transactions with cash of a predetermined denomination.
